This mechanism is actuated by three piezoelectric actuators as prismatic joints to be extended up to 10.7 μm.
This paper addresses performance analysis and optimum design of a PRRRP parallel mechanism that is actuated vertically by linear actuators.
"The foot is actuated with a linear actuator driven by a Pololu Dual VNH5019 Motor Driver Shield," the artist continues.
Another type of alarm is actuated by a photoelectric cell; when smoke darkens the room slightly, the alarm is activated.
Today a small computer is used as the controller in an NC machine tool, and the program is actuated from computer memory rather than punched paper tape.
When you touch the foot pedal, one front disc is actuated as well, compressing the front suspension and introducing steering input.
The integrated machine frame contains the motor module, which is actuated, controlled, and stopped by a four-speed switch operated by a device resembling the former foot treadle.
The motor in this machine rotates only when the treadle is actuated, so electricity is used only when the machine is sewing.
And the useful steering-wheel switches of homegrown Chryslers are gone; the cruise control is actuated with the same ill-placed lever that Mercedes drivers routinely nudge by accident when they want to signal a turn.
Universally, the clock-chiming mechanism has been a drum pegged to trip levers wired to the bell hammers; rotated by a suspended weight, it is actuated by the clockworks.
A wrench, on the other hand, is actuated by a force applied at one end only, and, in addition to the turning moment, it creates an unbalanced force on the element being tightened.
